Portrait of Roushan Verma

HI, I'M ROUSHAN

Exploring how we think, learn and build in the age of AI.

A software engineer, lifelong learner and builder, interested in technology, human behaviour, philosophy and the science of learning. I explore ideas, build experiments and share what I learn along the way.

What I'm curious about

A few threads I keep coming back to.

Technology & AI

How it works, where it's going, and what it means for humans.

Learning & Knowledge

How to learn better, retain longer and build real understanding.

Psychology & Behaviour

Why we think, feel and act the way we do โ€” and how to grow.

Philosophy & Ideas

Meaning, identity, freedom and better ways to think.

Building & Experimenting

Turning ideas into products, testing hypotheses and learning in public.

A bit about me

I'm a backend engineer by profession, but at heart I'm a curious generalist โ€” someone who enjoys connecting ideas across technology, psychology, learning and philosophy.

Welcome! this is my public notebook: a place to publish clear explanations, questions I'm exploring and ideas worth thinking through.

  • A software engineer interested in how things work
  • A reader who takes notes and applies ideas
  • Interested in deliberate learning and deeper understanding
  • Exploring questions about humans, intelligence and the future
